Maryland questions

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

About our bath repair in Maryland

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and holes from dropped items, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Maryland as everywhere else we work.

Landlord and trade work in Maryland

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What we are called out for in Maryland

A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What affects the price in Maryland

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Maryland. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your E15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
